Newsflash: Seeds and nuts are super healthy and most of us aren’t eating enough of them. They are a great natural source of vitamins, minerals, protein, fat, and fiber.
I’ve been eating a ton of seeds and nuts as part of my anti-cancer diet since 2004,
with one exception…
I whipped up this little video to show you how I make my salads and salad dressing.
Enjoy!
Perhaps you’ve heard the dietary health advice “Eat less red meat and more fish”.
In a perfect world this is good advice, but in the real world there is a very important factor that is often ignored.
You should take the same approach to the food you eat as you do to the advice you’re given…Consider the source.
Farm-raised fish is promoted like it’s a good thing. But when you take a closer look,
farm-raised fish makes about as much sense as ocean-caught beef.
In 1945 local water treatment facilities began to add sodium fluoride, an industrial waste byproduct, to our water supply.
Ever wondered why?
Economist Steven Levitt and writer Stephen Dubner are two awesome dudes who teamed up to write two of my favorite books in the last few years. They use research and statistical analysis to solve some of the most complex riddles of modern life. Needless to say, I was thrilled to discover that they spent some time studying the cancer treatment industry. The question they address in SuperFreakonomics is this: “Why is chemotherapy prescribed so often if it’s so ineffective?”
You’ve probably heard that a diet high in sodium is unhealthy because it is a risk factor for Cardiovascular and Kidney Disease. Processed foods have very high levels of salt, and a diet high in salt actually leads to salt dependence by your body. This is why you crave salty foods; just like a smoker craves the nicotine in a cigarette.
Unless you’ve been living in a cave or perhaps Cuba, you’ve probably heard that buying organic produce is better.
The most important reason to buy organic is to avoid exposure to the toxic chemical pesticides and fertilizers used to grow commercial produce these days.
The pesticides they put on our food have been linked to some serious health problems like Cancer, Birth Defects, Parkinson’s, Asthma, Autism, ADHD, and more.
Here’s the most recent report of the cleanest and dirtiest produce based on FDA and USDA data.
Ok so after several requests I decided to shoot a quick video on the raw vegan coconut fruit smoothie I drank everyday as part of my anti-cancer diet.
Another key component in my cancer fight was drinking copious amounts of herbal teas. Specifically the ones with high anti-oxidant and immune boosting properties. Most days I would have a hot cup in the morning, iced herbal tea with meals, and a hot cup before bed. I highly recommend you get these super healthy teas into your body, pronto!
Since my last post was on alkalizing, and thanks to a facebook thread with Deanna and Kathy,
I figured I’d continue with that theme and write about one of my favorite products on planet earth,
which was also a staple in my anti-cancer diet: Apple Cider Vinegar.
